The Grand Cherokee L is all-new for 2021.Three rows of seating.Interior filled with modern, premium touches and tech features.Kicks off the fifth Grand Cherokee generation for 2021.

Pros
Impressive list of standard and optional advanced driver aids
Unibody construction brings much-needed refinement
Handsome interior design
Better off-road capability than most SUVs

Cons
Base V6 engine provides underwhelming acceleration

By: 
edmunds.com

This year marks the beginning of a new generation of Grand Cherokee with the arrival of the three-row L model. It makes its debut before the updated two-row Grand Cherokee (reviewed separately), which will switch to this new design for 2022. A 4Xe plug-in hybrid model is likely coming for the 2022 model year.

Pros
Deluxe cabin environs,
plenty of off-road capability,
room for up to seven riders.

Cons
Base V-6 not as refined as optional V-8,
awkward proportions on smaller diameter wheels,
most desirable models are pricey.
